The mussels and clams are already cooked because I boiled them to make the stock that I used in this batch (the key with paella is to always use hot stock). I simmered it for another 15 minutes or so after this picture was taken, then foiled it and let it rest for another 15 prior to serving. I’ll see if we’ve got any post-rest pre-gluttony photos.

Edit: No joy, guess I’ll just have to make more and take better photos!

According to Wikipedia, siling haba is 50,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU) while Korean chili peppers are 1,500 SHU unless it's specifically a Chyeongyang chili pepper which is 10,000 SHU. I don't know if siling haba is quite that spicy since Serrano is supposedly 25,000-50,000 and I thought that was spicier than siling haba, so I think if it's a Chyeongyang chili pepper, you should go use that. 10,000 is only slightly spicier than a jalapeño (4,000-8,500 SHU).
